In 1979, JOHNNY THUNDERS, renowned Heartbreakers and New York Dolls guitarist,
teamed up with WAYNE KRAMER, also legendary guitarist of Detroits seminal MC5,
to form GANG WAR, an alliance that lasted the best part of a year. Johnny had just
released his So Alone album, and Wayne was not long out of jail after serving two of
four years for a coke bust. Although Gang War released no records and were
without a label at the time they were an underground act in retrospect the
collaboration is looked on as a rock fantasy supergroup. These live Toronto, Boston
& New York recordings bear testimony to this unique partnership between two
celebrated rock guitar icons.
